Lübeck Yacht

Lübeck Yacht was a German shipyard established in Lübeck in 1968. The yard focused on the construction of custom sailing yachts, with an emphasis on blue-water cruising capabilities and individualized owner specifications. Production was based in Lübeck, Germany.

The shipyard is noted for its involvement in early applications of advanced composite materials in yacht construction. They were among the yards that explored the use of carbon fiber composites, demonstrating an interest in lightweight and strong hull constructions for performance-oriented cruising yachts. Lübeck Yacht typically built vessels in the size range of approximately 15 to 20 meters, though specific dimensions varied based on custom orders.

Over its operational period, Lübeck Yacht constructed a limited number of custom projects. Examples included ketch-rigged and cutter-rigged sailing yachts. The emphasis was on bespoke design and construction rather than series production, allowing for significant owner input into the layout, features, and sailing characteristics of each vessel. The design and construction philosophy centered on creating durable, seaworthy yachts suitable for extended voyages, while also incorporating performance considerations through hull design and rigging.

Lübeck Yacht ceased its operations, and there is no current production under this name. The precise circumstances and date of the shipyard's closure are not widely documented. The company remained a relatively small custom builder throughout its existence, serving a niche market for discerning owners seeking individualized sailing yacht solutions.
